How do you find the derivative of #y = arcsin(x^5) #? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Differentiating Inverse Trigonometric Functions 1 Answer Eddie Jun 23, 2016 # y' = (5x^4)/(sqrt{1 - x^{10})# Explanation: #y = arcsin(x^5)# #sin y = x^5# #cos y \ y' = 5x^4# # y' = (5x^4)/(cos y)# # y' = (5x^4)/(sqrt{1 - sin^2 y})# # y' = (5x^4)/(sqrt{1 - (x^5)^2})# # y' = (5x^4)/(sqrt{1 - x^{10})# Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of #f(x)=sin^-1(x)# ?
